Great way to experience the city's cultural and historical highlights - It was a pleasure to have Dipendra Dharel as our tour guide for the full-day tour of the 7 UNESCO sites. He is very knowledgeable and speaks English fluently. We learned a lot about Nepali culture and history. The tour program was packed, but we never felt rushed moving from one site to another.

Request to book Dipendra - the best guide! - Wow - I had the best day ever in Kathmandu with Dipendra! Not only was he so fun to chat with, he had a wealth of knowledge. He was able to customize my tour outside of the 7 UNESCO heritage sites, he accomodated my request to see Kopan Monastery and Jamchen Vijaya. We got so lucky that the spaces were fairly empty and we had it all to ourselves. Each spot he took me to, whether its to buy art or a singing bowl, were all reputable places. Lunch was fantastic, and he gave me space to enjoy the views on my own. He is also a great photographer who will get the best angles if you want photos. Even after my flight got canceled, he still continued to help me plan the remainder of my trip: If you’re considering this tour when you come to Kathmandu, you must request for Dipendra! I really enjoyed making a new friend here in Kathmandu. Hope to book with him the next time I’m back here.

He is very knowledgeable about all the history which is added to your knowledge while visiting the heritage places in Kathmandu. Also he is suggesting what u need to do if you are enjoying the tour which is very important that he cares to his visitors. Very nice place and I learned about the history as well. Very good job Dipendra and I will recommend this tour to all.

Do this tour - I had an amazing tour of the 7 UNESCO sites with guide Dipendra Dharel of Himalayan Social Journey. He was very professional and knowledgeable on the history of the sites. He carefully considered my preferences. We toured all sites at my preferred pace. I suggest to verify the total cash needed to pay the entry tickets, the day before the tour to ensure that you have sufficient Nepalese Rupees. For lunch, Dipendra recommended a nice rooftop restaurant with a view of the Boudha Stupa. It was the best spot to take a photo of the stupa. I highly recommend this tour and I hope you get the dependable Dipendra as your guide.

Perfect Private Tour of Kathmandu’s UNESCO Sites - 7 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu. The tour was very comfortable, and the pace was just right, allowing us to soak in the atmosphere and marvel at the beautiful Newari architecture. Rajan was our guide, and he was very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. He was welcoming and made sure we were always comfortable. Lastly, he took great photos. :)
